His foot speed is good. Not sure what you're talking about. Perhaps you should rematch the fight. Even when Floyd tried to create distance to punch Maidana closed the gap.

I could go harsher, but it would be too harsh. He still beat a good fighter, it's just the bar has been set so high with Mayweather that this fight was really bad for him.
At the end of the day, just like Pac beating Bradley, it's a reminder that even so far past their best, these two can beat just about anybody else in their division.
stop watching All Access, Bo...they're getting to you

I never thought that highly of Maidana. I liked him, but never considered him elite. Just a wild tough guy who comes to fight, but is a bit sloppy and lacks technical skills. So to me, an elite fighter with Mayweather's abilities should have blown this guy away. Maybe Maidana has improved a lot under Garcia, I'm sure he has, still, I just cant fathom the guy who lost to Khan, Alexander and looked terrible against Morales giving Mayweather arguably the toughest fight since Castillo.
